Thanks Gerald for hunting this! Write is essentially a free web-based version of Flowstate that I built for myself. For those not familiar with how Flowstate works, if you stop typing - within a fixed duration session you choose - for more than a few seconds, all your writing is erased. You can really do any writing with it but I've personally found it to be a really effective journal, given the fixed duration makes it easier to stick to a routine, and the pressure to keep typing gets all my thoughts - prominent or latent - out in writing. Happy to answer questions! Also, if you're into the technical details, it's built with React and the source is at http://github.com/krrishd/write

Interesting idea - as a writing app, it would make sense to have: - Fullscreen mode - Colour inversion (or customisation) - Hemingway mode (no deletions) - Typewriter mode (cursor focused at screen center with autoscroll) - Markdown support - Typing sound effects - Concentration music - Export to... (Reddit, Medium, Dropbox, etc.) But most importantly, I'd suggest adding something to the site that tells you your text will be deleted. I clicked the link before reading comments here and had no idea my text would be deleted if I stopped typing

This is a great alternative to Flowstate! Any details about privacy and security of content that we enter in?

As a fan of Flowstate, it's irritating recommending it to somebody that a) doesn't have a Mac, and b) doesn't want to pay, so this'll definitely be the site I recommend to people from now on. Thanks!

This is really cool. Good for when I get a thought in my head and need to jot down a note before I get distracted.
